Abstract:IntroductionThe transmission of malaria and other infectious diseases can be linked to housing conditions. For malaria, poor housing conditions can result in higher indoor transmission rates compared to improved houses. The current study aims to introduce a new approach known as the push-pull strategy.

With this approach, we anticipate reduc… Show more
